This  Revised  Edition  of  the  Elementary  Spelling  Book, 
is  most  respectfully  dedicated  by  their  friend  and  fel- 
low-citizen, The  Author. 


Entered  according  to  Act  of   Congress  lu  the  year  1S63,  by

PREFACE. 


No  better  Spelling-book  than  Dr.  Webster's  has  ever  been 
presented  to  the  American  people.  The  unparalleled  extent 
ofits  circulation  furnishes  ample  proof  of  the  high  estima- 
tion in  which  it  is  held  by  an  enlightened  public.  For 
many  years  it  has  been  almost  the  only  Spelling-book  used 
in  the  Southern  States,  as  well  as  in  other  sections  of  the  old 
Union ;  and  his  Dictionary  may  be  found  in  almost  every 
family,  occupying,  as  it  deservedly  does,  a  pre-eminence 
over  all  others.  Hut  those  friendly  relations  which  once  ex- 
isted between  the  Northern  and  Southern  States  have  been 
severed  by  a  protracted,  unjust  and  oppressive-  Federal  leg- 
islation, and  thus  we  have  been  driven  from  them,  and  the 
channel  through  which  we  hav©,  hitherto,  been  accustomed 
to  obtain  our  supplies  is  now  closed  by  blockade;  the  off- 
spring of  an  unjustifiable  and  tyrannical  war,  which  is 
waged  against  us  by  those  who  should  have  continued  to  be 
our  friends.  Driven  from  them  never  to  return,  we  ask, 
what  must  now  be  done  to  meet  the  wants  of  our  Schools  1 
This  is  an'  important  question. 

When  the  compiler  conceived  the  idea  of  preparing  a 
Spelling-book  to  meet  fully  the  necessities  of  the  country, 
he  soon  became  convinced  that  to  make  a  better  book  than 
Webster's  would  be  exceedingly  difficult,  if  not  impos- 
sible. It  occurred  to  his  mind  that  a  revised  edition  of 
the  Elementary  Spelling  book,  adapted  to  the  wants  of 
the  people  of  the  Confederate  States  of  America,  would 
be  all  that  could  be  desired.  Notwithstanding  this  con- 
clusion, supported  as  it  was  by  many  years  experience  in 
teaching,  he  felt  unwilling  to  undertake  the  w^^rk  of  re- 


PREFACE. 


visini,^  the  book,  without  first  consulting  some  of  the  most 
distiiiiriiiahed  scholars' and  teachers.  In  answ'cr  to  some 
of  the  many  le  ters  he  addressed  to  his  acquaintances,  he 
is  happy  to  say,  he  has  been  much  encouraged  and  strongly 
urged  to  prosecute  the  labors  connected  with  such  an  en- 
t'^rprise.  The  reader  is  referred  to  the  letter  of  Rev.  C.  P. 
Beman,  that  veteran  educator,  now  of  Mt.  Zion,  Georgia; 
also  to  a  letter  from  Dr.  N.  M  Crawford,  President  of 
Mercer  University,  Ga  ,  whose  ripe  scholarship  and  exten- 
sive experience  in  teaching  will  not  be  questioned  in  this 
country. 

It  is  proper  to  state  thot  the  orthography  of  Webster  has 
been  invariably  retained  ;  and  that  in  very  few  instances  has 
his  pronunciation  been  rejected.  The  flat,  or  Italian  sound 
of  a,  as  heard  iu  the  word  /i//ie>-,  should  not  be  heard  in 
the  word  grass,  mass,  glass,  bass,  &;c.  In  these  words  I 
have  given  to  the  letter  a  its  short  sound,  as  in  mot.  This 
is- undoubtedly  the  usage  amongst  us,  and  it  ha^  the  sanc- 
tion of  Walker  of  LontLm.  The  flat  sound  of  the  letter  a 
in  these  instances  is  a  New  England  provincialism. 

I  had  marked  the  vowel  sounds,  as  well  as  those  of  a  few 
consonants,  as  Dr.  Webster  has  maiked  them.  But  since 
the  manuscript  has  been  finished,  it  has  been  ascertained 
that  the  kind  of  type  suitable  to  represent  these  sounds 
could. not  be  procured.  The  present  edition  wi^  be  given 
to  the  public  without  the  notation  of  the  sound.  At  the 
earliest  possible  period,  the  woi-k  will  be  stereotyped,  and 
all  the  necessary  distinctions  of  sound  will  be  made;  and 
by  inspecting  the  Key  to  the  sounds,  page  14,  the  intelli- 
gent student  will  find  all  that  is  desirable  on  this  subji'ct. 
The  teacher  or  student  who  may  wish  to  acquaint  himself 
more  fully  with  the  proper  pronunciation  of.  any  word,  is 
requested  to  search  {kw  it  in  Dr.  Webster's  Dictionary. 

The  Bible  readings  on  the  subject  of  Domestic  slavery, 
which  are  introduced  into  this  work  in  various  places,  are  * 


p  u  i<:  F  A  c  K  .  r> 

given  in  th(^  ex'ict  verbiaj^e  of  tho  sacrt-d  page.  The  peoph- 
of  these  Confederate  States  of  America  will  not  henceforth 
withhold  from  their  school-books,  the  teachings  of  the  Scrip- 
tures on  this  subject.  They  have  no  higher  law  than  Holy 
Writ.  It  is  their  standard  in  religion  and  morals;  and 
"  when  the  enemy  ^sliall  come  in  like  a  flood,  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  shall  lift  up  a  standard  against  him."     Lsa.  59 :  19. 

The  names  of  men  and  wt>men  found  in  the  New  Testa- 
ment, are  appended  to  the  book;  and  are  pronounced  as 
Walker  and  Webster  have  pronounced  them ;  except  the 
word  Israel,  which  is  here  pronounced  Jz'  ra  el,  as  it  is  pro- 
nounced in  Israel  Alger's  Pronttuneing  Bible.  This  pro- 
nunciation is  t-asicr  of  utterance,  and  is  far  more  euphoni- 
ous than  the  sharp  hissing  sound  of  the  letter  y,  and  it  is 
in  conformity  with  general  usage. 

It  is  the  object  of  the  Spelling-book  to  teach  orthography 
and  orthoepy  ;  and  the  various  tables  of  spelling  are  so 
constructed  as  to  coiidensf'  into  the  smallest  compass  a  com- 
plete system  of  teaching  the,  elements  of  the  language. 
However  small  this  book  may  appi  ar,  it  may  be  consid- 
ered as  the  most  important  class-book,  not  of  a  purely  re- 
liii;ipus  character,  which  the  rising  generation  of  the  South- 
ern Confederacy  are  destined  to  use.

EXTEACTS  FEOM  WEBSTER'S  PREFACE. 

The  Plan. — The  plan  of  classification  is  here  extended 
so  as  to  comprehend  every  important  variety  of  English 
words;  and  the  clisses  are  so  arranged  with  suitable  di 
rections  for  the  pronunciation,  that  any  pupil  who  shall 
be  master  of  these  ELEMENTAuy  Tables,  will  find  little 
difficulty  in  learning  to  foi-m  and  prtniouncc  any  words 
that  properly  -belong  to  our  vernacular  tongue." 

Spelling  an'd  forming  words. ^ — "  The  tables  intended  for 
exi-rcises  in  spelling  and  forming  words,  contain  the  origi- 


PREFACE. 


nal  words  with  the  terminations  only  of  their  derivations. 
These  tables  will  anssver  the  important  purpose  of  teach- 
inof  the  manner  of  formini?  the  derivatives,  and  the  distinc- 

1  tion  of  the  parts  of  speech,  and  thus  anticipate,  in  some 

i  degree,  the  knowledge  of  grammar." 

Pronunciation. — "There  are  a  few  words  in  both  coun- 
tries, England  and  America,  whose  pronunciation  is  not  set- 
tled beyond  dispute.  In  cases  of  this  kind  I  have  leaned 
to  regular  analosfies  as  furnishing  the  best  rule  of  decision." 

Uniformity  of  Orthography. — '•  In  orthography  there 
are  some  classes  of  words  in  which  usage  is  not  uniform. 
No  two  English  writers  agree  on  this  subject ;  and,  what  is 
worse,  no  lexicographe-r  is  consistent  with  hijnself.  In  this 
branch  of  English  philology,  I  have  adopted,  both  in  this 
work  and  in  my  Dictionary,  that  orthography  which  is 
most  simple,  and  which  is  now  the.  best  authorized.  I  have 
pursued  the  rules  which  are  held  to  be  legitimate,  and 
have  rendei-ed  all  cases  of  words,  falling  "within  the  rules, 
uniform  in  orthography." 

Marks  of  Sounds.  * — "  In  this  work,  the  sounds  of  the 
vowels  in  accented  syllables  are  represented  by  marks  or 
points  attached  to  the  letters.  This  serves  to  fix  the  pro- 
nunciation of  words,  and  to  facilitate  the  acquisition  of  the 
language  both  by  foreigners  and  our  own  children." 

Silent  Letters. — "  Letters  printed  in  the  Italic  charac- 
ters are  mute ;  but  by  the  classification  of  words  here 
adopted,  few  of  these  characters  are  necessary." 

The  reading  lessons. — "These  lessons  will  serve  to 
substitute  variety  for  the  dull  monotony  of  spelling,  and 
show  the  practical  use  of  words  in  significant  sentences,  and 
thus  enable  the  learner  the  better  to  understand  their  true 
meaning."  |^^  Teachers  should  notice  this,  and  not  re- 
quire parents  to  go  to  the  useless  expense  of  purchasing 
Northern  catch-penny  readers  No.  I,  2,  3,  4,  &;c. 

Signification  of  words. — "It  is  useful  to  teach  children 
the  significations  of  words  as  soon  as  they  can  comprehend 
them;  but  the  understanding  can  hardly  keep  pace  with  the 
memory,  and  the  minds  of  children  may  welt  be  employed 


*  Type  of  the  kind  n-quired,  cannot  be  pr>;curei  at,  fhia  lime  in  iLis  country, 
but  it  8ii4ll  be  procured  at  as  early  a  period  ae  pi^'Bsible. 


AI^ALYSIS     OF     SOUNDS. 


in  learning  to  spell  and  pronounce  words  whose  significa- 
tion is  not  within  the  reach  of  their  capacities;  for  what 
they  do  not  clearly  understand  nt  first,  they  will  understand 
as  their  capacities  are  enlarged." 


ANALYSIS  OF  SOUNDS 

IN    THE 

EisraLiSHE  LA-israiJ^aE. 


The  English  Alphabet  consists  of  twenty- six  letters  or 
single  characters,  the  sounds  of  which  are  rendered  signifi- 
cant by  established  usage.  The  compounds  ch,  sh,  th  and 
7i(j,iiVQ.  also  used  to  represent  distinct  sounds ;  and  another 
sound  is  expressed  by  si  oj-  z ;  as  in  brasier,  azure,  pro- 
nounced bra'  zhvr,  azh'  ur. 

A,  E,  O  are  always  vowels. 

1  or  U  are  vowels  or  diphthongs. 

Wis  also  a  vowel,  except  when  it  begins  a  word  or 
syllable. 

Y  is  either  a  vowel,  a  diphthong  or  a  conso^^ant. 

The  vowels  a^  e,  i,  o,  u.  y,  have  regular  long  and  short 
sounds,  as  represented  in  the  Key,  page  12;  and  also  oc- 
casional sounds,  which  occur  more  rarely,  as  may  also  be 
seen  in  the  Key,  where  they  are  all  clearly  exhibited  by 
certain  characters. 

The  long  sound  of  a  in  late,  when  shortened  in  unaccen- 
ted syllables,  coincides  nearly  with  that  of  e  in  let ;  as  ad- 
equate, desolate,  inveteiate.  The  long  e  Vvhen  shortened 
coincides-  with  the  short  i  m  pit ;  as  in  ti-vmpet.  The 
short  sound  of  i  is  that  of  y  unaccented  at  the  end  of 
words;  as  in  gloiy:  The  short  sound  of  broad  a  in  hall, 
is  the  same  as  the  short  o  in  holly,  and  of  a  in  what. 

The  short  sound  of  oo  in  pool,  is  that  of  it  in  pull,  and 
00  in  wool. 

The  short  sound  of  o  in  not  is  spmewhat  lengthened  be- 
fore r^  s,  ih  and  vg  ;  as  in  nor,  cross,  broth,  belong. 

The  articulations  represented  by  the  consonants  are  best 
understood  by  placing  a  vowel  before  them  in  pronuncia- 
tion, thus :  eb,  ed,  ef,  ek,  el,  em,  en,  ep,  er,  es,  et,  ev,  ez. 


8  ANALYSTS     OF     SOUNDS. 


Those  articulations  which  wholly  interrupt  the  voice 
are  called  close  or  mfff.e^B.s  eb,  ed,  eg,  ek,  ep,  et.  Those 
which  do  not  interrupt  the  voice  are  called  semi-vowels, 
as  ef,  el,  em,  en,  er,  es,  ev,  ez   eth. 

Those  articulations  which  are  formed  by  the  lips  are 
called  labials ;  as  eb,  ef,  em,  ep,  ev. 

Dental  articulations  are  formed  by  the  tongue  and  teeth, 
as  ed,  et,  eth. 

Patatid  art'culation"*  are  those  which  are  formed  by  the 
tongue  and  the  palate;  as  eg,  ek,  ing. 

Slhilaiits. — The  letters  5  and  z  are  called  sibilant  or  his- 
sins:  letters.  . 

B  and  P  represent  nearly  one  and  the  same  articulation, 
or  jointing  of  the  lips;  but  P  represents  a  closer  pressure 
of  the  lips. 

D  and  T  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  which 
is  the  pressure  of  the  tongue  against  the  gum  of  the  upper 
teeth,  but  T  stands  for  a  closer  articulation  than  D. 

F  and  V  stand  for  the  same  articulation,  the  upper  teeth 
placpd  on  the  under  lip;  but  F  indicates  an  expulsion  of 
breath  without  sound  ;  V  with  soutid. 

Th  in  think  and  that  represent  one  and  the  safne  articu- 
lation—the former  with  aspiration,  the  latter  with  sound. 

S  and  Z  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  atten- 
ded with  hissing;  s  without  sound   z  M^th  sound. 

Sh  and  zk  have  the  same  distinction  as  s  and  z,  aspihi- 
ted  and  vocal ;  but  zh  not  occurrin*?  in  En^jlish  words,  the 
sound  is  represented  by  si,  or  other  letters,  as  in  fu'sion, 
oziei\  azure. 

Nij  represents  the  articulation  of  the  body  of  the  tongue 
with  the  roof  of  the  mouth.  In  certain  words,  as  in  sinp, 
the  articulation  is  moderately  close,  with  a  nasaPsound; 
in  other  words,  as  m  finger,  the  pressujce  is  more  close, 
stopping  all  sound.  A  closer  pressure  is. represented  by 
nk  as  in  bank.  The  difference  is  obvious  in  bang,  anger, 
bank^  but  the  articulation  is  the  same  in  all  cases.  See 
section  139. 

B  has  one  sound  only,  as  in  bite,  and  is  silent  after  m, 
as  in  dumh,  'plumb. 

C  has  the  sound  of  k  before  a,  o"  and  u,  as  in  crit,  cat, 
corn.  This  hard  sound  of  rr  may  be  represented  nearly  by 
the  letters  cuh.  But  c  has  also  a  hard  sound  like  the  letters 


ANALYSIS     OF     SOUNDS.  9 


he  ;  as  in  came,  cure,  car,  cab.  It  has  the  sound  of  s  before 
e,  i  .-Mid  y,  as  m  cedar,  cider,  cycle.  It  may.  be  considered 
as  mute* before  k ;  as  in  sick,  thick.  When  it  is  followed 
by  e  or  i  before  another  vowel,  it  unites  with  e  or  i  to 
form  the  sound  of  sh.  Thus,  cetaceous,  gracious,  conscience, 
are  pronounced  te  ta'  shi/s,  gra'  shus,  am'  shense. 
■    D  has  but  one  sound,  as  hrday,  hid. 

F  has  one  sound  only,  as  in  life,  fever,  except  in  of,  in 
which  it  has  the  sound  of  v.        . 

G  before  a,  o  and  n,  is  a  close  palatal  articulation,  as  in 
gave,  go,  gun ^  but  before  e,  i  and  y  it  has  the  sound  of  y. 
It  may  be  remarked  that  the  sound  of  g  before  a,  oand  u 
is  commonly  called  the  hai'd  sound  ;  and  the  sound  before 
e,  i  and  y  is  called  the  soft  sound,  like  that  of  y.  The  two 
hard  sounds  are  very  distinctly  different  in  different  com- 
binations; the  sound  of/;  in  gave  is  that  o^ gee,  as  in  geese  ; 
the  other  hard  sound  is  similar  to  that  made  by  the  letters 
guh,  as  heard  in  gun,  gust.     See   Key,  page  12. 

II  is  a  mark  of  breathing,  or  aspiration.  Al\er  r  it  has 
no  sound  ;  as  in  rhetoric. 

I  in  certain  words  has  the  use  of  y  consonant;  as  in 
miliion,  pronounced  millyun.  Before  r  it  sometimes  takes 
the  short  sound  of  u  ;  as  in  sir,  bird,  dirt,  flirt. 

J  represents  a  compound  sound,  that  may  be  expressed 
by  dzh,  as  mjoy,  jar. 

K  has  the  two  distinct  hard  sounds  of  c ;  the  first  like 
cuh,  as  in  koran,  kind.  The  second,  but  more  general  sound 
of  the  letters  ke,  as  in  king,  kid,  kalmia.     This  sound  o\'  k 


is  the  hard  sound  of  c,  which  Webster  says  "may  be  call- 
ed ke.''"'     See  letter  c  in  his  large  Dictionary. 

L  has  one  sound  only  ;  as  in  lame,  mill.  It  is  so"metimes 
silent  before  k,  as  in  walk  ;  before  m,  as  in  calm  ;  and  be- 
/,  as  in  calf.  '  . 

M  has  only  one  sound,  as  in  man,  flame. 

N  has  one  sound  only,  as  in  not,  sun.  It  is  silent  after 
m,  as  in  hymn,  solemn. 

P  has  one  sound  only ;  as  in  pit,  lap.  Before  5  it  is  si- 
lent ;  as  in  psalm. 

Q  has  precisely  the  power  of  ^,  but  it  is  always  followed 
by  n,  sounded  like  w,  as  in  question,  queer. 

S  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  send,  less,  or  the  sound  of 
z ;  as  in  rise.   VVhen  it  is  followed  by  i.  preceding  a  vowtl, 


10  ANALYSIS     OFSOtJNi)g. 


it  iHiites  with  a  vowel  in  forriiing  the  sound  of  sh ;  as  in 
omission,  pronounced  o  miah'  u/t,  or  zh^&s  in  osier,  pro- 
nounced o'  f^hur.  • 

T  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  turn,  at  the  beginning  of 
words  and  end'^of  syllables.  Before  t,  followed  by  anoth- 
er vowel,  it  unites  wi'h  i  and  forms  the  sound  of  sh^  as  in 
nation,  partial,  ^^a^/en-ce,  pronounced  na'  shun,  par'  shut 
pa'  shense.  A  few  exceptions  are,  when  s  and  x  precede  t, 
as  in  bastion^  christian',  taixtion,  are  pronounced  bast'  yun^ 
Christ'  yan,  mikst'  yitn. 

V  has  one*  sound  only;  as  in  voice,  live,  and  is  never 
silent,  and  never  ends  a  word. 

W  before  r  is  silent;  as  in  wring,  wrong.  In  most  words 
beginning  w^'xth  loh,  the  h  precedes  the  U)  in  utterance.  Thus 
when  is  pronounced  hwen, 

X  represents  ks,  as  in  wax,  box  ;  but  Is  sometimes  pro- 
nounced like  gz,  as  in  exact,  pronounced  egz'  act.     At  the 
beginning  of  words  it  is  pronounced  like  0,  as  in  xenophon. 
Z  has  its  proper  sound  which  is  soft  like  s  in  his,  has. 
Ch  have  the  sound  nearly  of  tsh,  as  in  child ;  or  the  sound 
of  k,  as  in  character  ;  or  of  sh,  as  in  machine,  chaise. 

Gh  are  mute  in  every  English  word,  both  in  the  middle 
and  at  the  end  of  words,  except  in  the  following:  cough, 
ch'iugh,  dough,  enough,  hough,  laugh,  rough,  slough,  lOugh, 
trough.  These  words,  close  with  the  sound  of  f,  so  that 
gh  may  be .  said  not  to  have  their  proper  sound  in  any 
English  word. 

Ph  have  the  sound  of  /,  as  in  philosophy ;  except  in 
Stephen,  pronounced  Ste'  ven'. 

Sh  have  one  sound  only,  as  in  shall. 
Tii  have  two  sounds;  aspirate  or  sharp,  as  in  thick,  thin, 
both,  and  the  vocal   or  flat  sound,  as  in   thou,  this,  bathe. 
See  Key,  page  12. 

So  have  the  sound  of  sk  before  a,  o,  u  and  r,  as  in  scale, 
sculpture,  scroll ;  and  the  sound  of  s  only  before  e,  i  and 
y ;  as  in  scene,  scepter,  science,  scyihian. 

DIGRAPHS. 

Two  vowels  in  a  syllable,  wher^e  only  one  is  sounded,  are 
called  n  digraph ;  w^hen  both  are  sounded  together  they 
are  called  a  diphthong. 

The   pronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  oi  and   oy,  is  the 
same  and  uniform;  as  m  join,  joy,  oil. 


ANALYSIS     OF     SOUNDS.  11 


! 


The  pronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  ou  and  ow  is  the 
same  and  uniform,  as  in  sound^  now.  But  in  the  termina- 
tions ous,  ou  is  not  a  diphthong  and  the  pronunciation  is 
us;  a.s  in  pious,  ff/orious,  Variovs. 

The  diagrams  ai  and  crjr,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  and  in 
accented  syllables,  have  the  sound  of  a  long.  In  the  unac- 
cented syllables  of  a  few  words,  the  sound  of  a  is  nearly 
or  quite  lost ;  as'in  certain,  curtain,  captain.  The  digraphs 
au  and  aw  have  the  sound  of  broad  a,  as  in  fall ;  eiv  that 
of  u  long,  as  in  new ;  and  e^j,  unaccented,  that  of  y  short, 
as  in  valley. 

When  one  vowel  of  a  digraph  is  pointed  or  marked,  the 
other  has  no  sound;   as  \n  court,  road,  slow. 

The  digraphs  ea,  ee.  ei,  ie,  when  not  pointed,  have,  in 
this  book,  the  sound  of  e  long ;  as  in  near,  meet,  seize,  grieve. 
The  vowels  in  Section  143  are  exceptions. 

The  digraph  oa,  unless  pointed,  has  the  sound  of  o  long, 
as  in  boat.     In  a  few  instances  words  of  disputable  pronun 
ciation  are  distinguished  by  this  mark  f . 

Vowels,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  followed  by  a  single 
consonant  and  e  final,  are  long;  as  in  fate^  mete,  mute,  un- 
less pointed,  as  in  d  ve,  give. 

The  accented  syllable  of  a  word  is  distinguished  by  the 
mark  ('). 

The  double  accent  (")  in  such  words  as  prec"  ious,  am 
hi"  tious,  (Section  135,)  shows  that  the  subsequent  c  or  t 
has  the  sound  of  sh. 

The  double  accent  in  such  words  as  an"  ger,  clan"  gor, 
(Section  139).  shows  that  ng  are  pronounced  with  a  close 
articulation,  or  like  double  g  in  clang  gor. 

ACCENT,    EMPHASIS,    AND    CADENCE. 

Accent  is  a  forcible  stress  of  the  voice  on  a  letter  or  syl- 
lable, tdistiiiguishing  it  from  others  in  the  same  word. 
When  it  falls, on  a  vowel,  it  prolongs  the  sound,  as  in  glo' 
ry ;  when  it  falls  on  a  consonant,  the  pveceeding  vowel  is 
short,  as  'ifihnb'  it.  The  general  rule  by  which  afcent  is 
regulated,  is  that  the  stress  of  voice  falls  on  that  syllable 
of  a  word,  which  renders  the  articulations  most  easy  to  the 
speaker  and  most  agreeable  to  the  hearer.  By  this  rule 
the  accent  of  most  words  have  been  established  by  long 
and  universal  consent. 


12  KEY   TO    THE   VOWEL    SOUNDS. 


When  a  word  consists  or  three  or  more  syllables,  the 
ease  of  spoaUlng  requires  usually  .a  secondary  accent,  or 
ieiss  forcible  utterance  than  the  pri?n:irv,  but  clearly  distin- 
jT^uishabk'  frujii  the  pronunciatioii  of  unaeccnicd  yyilabes, 
as  in  superjiuitt/^  liiercfry. 

In  many  compound  wcii'.ls,  the  parts  of  wliich  are  im- 
portant words  of  themselves,  th«^re  is  very  little  distinc- 
tion of  accent;  as  in  uik-sfaud^  church-yard. 

^iftpho.sis  is  a  particular  force  of  utterance  given  to  a 
particular  'Cvord  in  a  sentence,  on  account  of  its  importance. 

Cadence  is  the  fall  or  modulation  of  the  voicf  in  reading 
or  spelling,  especially  at  the  end  of  a  sentence.

Washington  was  not  a  selfish  man.  He  was  the  first 
President  of  the  United  States.  "First  in  war,  first  in 
council,  and  first  in  the  affections  of  the  people,"  and  he 
owned  slaves.  There  was  a  great  man  when  Christ  was  on 
the  earth,  who  was  a  military  officer,  a  centurion,  and  he 
was  a  slaveholder.     Here  is  Christ's  language,  giving 

"THE  HISTORY  OF  THE  CENTURION." 
"And  when  Jesus  was  enter<#d  into  Cnpernaum,  there  ! 
came  unto  him  a  centurion,  beseeching  him,  and  t^aviiKr; 
"  Lord,  my  servant  lieth  at  home  sick  of  the  palsy,  griev- 
ously   tormented."     And  Jesus   said   unto   him,  "  1  will 
come  and  heal  him." 

The  centurion  answered  and  said:  "Lord,  I  am  not  worthy 
that  thou  shouldst  come  under  my  roof;  but  speak  the 
word  only,  and  my  servant  shall  be  healed.     For  I  am  ft

to  this  man  go  and  he  goeth ;  and  to  another,  come,  and 
he  Cometh  ;  and  to  my  servant  do  this,  and  he  doeth  it." 

When  Jesus  heard  it  he  marveled,  and  said  to  them  that 
followed,  "  Verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  have  not  found  so 
great  faith,  no,  not  in  Israel."     Matt.  8  :  5 — 10.

DUTIES  OF  CHILDREN,  PARENTS,  SERVANTS,  AND  MASTERS. 

Children,  obey  your  parents  in  the  Lord  ;  for  this  is 
right.  Honor  thy  father  and  mother,  (which  is  the  first 
commandment  with  promise,)  that  it  may  be  well  with 
thee  and  that  thou  mayest  live  long  upon  the  earth.

And  ye,  fathers,  provoke  not  your  children  to  wrath  ; 
but  bring  them  up  in  the  nurture  aud  admonition  of  the 
Lord. 

Servants,  be  obedient  to  them  that  are  your  masters 
according  to  the  flesh,  with  fear  and  trembling,  in  .single- 
ness of  }  our  heart,  as  unto  Christ ;  not  with  eye  service, 
as  men  pleasers,  but  as  the  servants  of  Christ,  doing  the 
will  of  God  from  the  heart;  with  good  will  doing  service 
as  to  the  Lord  and  not  to-  men.  Knowing  that  whatso- 
ever good  thing  any  man  doeth,  the  same  shall  he  receive 
of  the  Lord,  whether  he  be  bond  or  free. 

And  ye  masters,  do  the  same  thin<;s  unto  them,  forbear- 
ing  threatening;  knowirjg  that  your  master  also  is  in 
heaven;  neither  is  there  respect  of  persons  with  him."

HOW  TO   PUT  TO  SILENCE   THE   IGNORANCE 
OF  FOOLISH  MEN.— 1  P6ter  2:15— 20. 

"  For  so  is  the  will  of  God,  that  with  well-doing  ye  may  put 
to  silence  the  ignoranpe  6{  foolish  men  :  As  free,  and  not 
using  your  liberty,  for  a  cloak  of  maliciousness,  but  as 
the  servants  of  God. 

Honor  all  men.  Love  the  brotherhood.  Fear  God.  Honor 
the  king.     (The  ruler.) 

Servants,  be  subject  to  your  masters  with  all  fear;  not  only 
to  the  good  and  gentle,  but  also  to  the  froward.  For 
th'is  is  thankworthy,  if  a  man  for  conscience  toward  God 
endure  grief,  suffering  wrongfully.  For  what  glory  is  it, 
if,  when  ye  are  buffeted  for  your  faults  ye  shall  take  it 
patiently?  But  if,  when  ye  do  well,  and  suffer  for  it,  ye 
shall  take  it  patiently,  this  is  acceptable  with  God.  For 
even  hereunto  were  ye  called."*

THE  BIBLE   ON  SLAVERY. 


The  ten  commandments,  commonly  called  the  Deca- 
logue, AKE  found  in  the  TWENTIETH  CHAPTER  OF  ExODUS. 

They  recognize  Slavery,  and  are  of  perpetual  force, 
AS  follows  : 

1.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  Gods  before  me. 

2.  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any 
likeness  of  anything  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is 
in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under  the 
earth.  Thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor 
serve  them;  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God, 
visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children 
unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate 
me;  and  showing  mercy  unto  thousands  of  them  that 
love  me  and  keep  my  commandments. 

3.  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  nnme  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
v?iin  ;  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh 
His  name  in  vain.

4.  Remember  the  Sabbath-day  to  keep  it  holy.  Six  days 
shalt  thou  labor,  and  do  all  thy  work ;  but  the  seventh 
day  is  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God  :  in  it  thou  shalt 
not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter, 
thy  man-sfrvant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy  cattle, 
nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates ;  for  in  six 
days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth,  the  S'^a,  and  all 
that  in  them  is.  and  rested  the  seventh  day  ;  wherefore 
the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath-day  and  hallr.wed  it. 

5.  Honor  thy  fiither  and  thy  mother ;  that  thy  days  may 
be  long  upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee. 

6.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

7.  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery, 

8.  Thou  shal-t  not  steal. 

9.  Thou  shalt  not  bear  fals'^  witness  against  thy  neighbor. 

10.  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  house,  thou  stialt 
not  covet  thy  neighbor's  wife,  no?  his  man-servant,  nor 
his  maid-serva«)t,  nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  anything 
that  is  thy  neighbor's." 

Slaves  are  our  neighbor's  property,  as  much  so  as  his  house.

In  free  governments,  like  the  government  of  the  Confede- 
rate States  of  America,  the  people  choose  their  legisla- 
tors. We  have  legislators  for  each  State,  who  make 
laws  for  the  States  where  they  live.  The  town  in  which 
they  meet  to  legislate  is  called  the  seat  of  government. 
These  legislators,  when  they  assemble  to  make  laws  are 
called  the  Legislature. 

The  people  should  choose  their  wisest  and  best  men  for 
their  legislators. 

It  is  the  duty  of  every  good  citizen  to  inspect  the  moral 
conduct  of  the  men  who  offer  as  legislators  at  our  elec- 
tions. If  the  people  wish  for  good  laws,  they  may  ha^ve 
them  by  electing  good  men. 

The  legislative  councils  of  the  Confederate  States  should 
feel  their  dependence,  under  God,  on  the  will  of  a  free 
and  virtuous  people. 

Our  formers,  mechanics  and  merchants  compose  the 
strength  of  our  nation.  Let  them  be  wise  and  virtuous, 
and  watchful  of  their  liberties.  Let  them  trust  no  man 
to  leorislate  for  them,  if  he  lives  in  the  habitual  viola- 
tion  of  the  laws  of  his  country.

The  bright  stars  without  number  adorn  the  skies, 
'^hen  our  friends  die,  they  will  never  return  to  us;  but 

we  must  soon  follow  them. 
God  will  condemn  the  wicked  and  cast  them  into  outer 

darkness. 
God  will  forgive  those  who  repent  of  their  sins, and  live  a

what  a  day  may  bring  forth."     Prov.  27. 
Vicarious  punishment  is  that  which  one  person  suffers  in 

the  place  of  another. 
Gregarious  animals  are  such  as  herd  together,  as  sheep. 
Salubrious  air  is  favorable  to  health  of  body  and  mind. 
A  covetous  man  is  called  penurious. 
To  escape  from  punishment  is  impunity. 
To  do  any  thing  that  is  injurious  to  religion,  to  morals,  or 

to  the  interest  of  others,  is  great  wickedness.

The  heathen  are  those  peojDle  who  worship  idols,  or  who 
know  not  the  true  God. 

Tliose  who  enjoy  the  light  of  the  gospel,  and  neglect  to 
obey  its  precepts,  are  more  criminal  than  the  heathen. 

"  All  mankind  are  brethren,  and  descendants  of  common 
parents.  How  unnatural  and  wncked  it  is  to  make  war 
on  our  brethren,  to  conquer  them,  or  to  plunder  them 
and  destroy  them  !"  So  says  Dr.  Noah  Webster  in  the 
face  of  all  his  Northern  friends.  This  sentiment  deserves 
a  monument  to  his  memory.  Every  true  Southerner 
must  appreciate  it.  Every  God-fearing  man  will  endorse 
it.

character  like  piety.

Senate  originally  signified  a  council  of  ciders ;  for  men, 
before  their  minds  were  perverted  and  corrupted,  com- 
mitted the  public  concerns  to  "men  of  age  and  experience. 
The  maxim  of  wise  men  was,  "  o/r?  men  for  counsel; 
young  men  for  war."  But  in  modern  times  the  senato- 
rial dignity  is  not  always  connected  with  age,  and  expe- 
rience.

To  frounce  Is  to  cUrl  or  frizzle  the  hair. 

Haste  makes  waste,  and  waste  makes  want. 

It  is  no  more  ri<rht  to  steal  oranges,  apples  or  watermelons 
from  another's  garden  or  orchard  than  it  is  to  steal  mon* 
€y  from  his  desk.  Besides,  it  is  the  meanest  of  all  low 
tricks,  to  creep  into  a  man's  enclosure  to  take  his  pro- 
perty. How  much  more  manly  is  it  to  ask  for  peaches, 
apples,  oranges  or  melons,  than  it  is  to  sneak  into  his 
orchard  and  steal  them'.  How  must  a  boy,  and  much 
more  a  man,  blush  to  be  detected  in  so  mean  a  trick. 

"Thou  shalt  not  steal."     Exodus  20  :  15.

Experience  keeps  a  dear  school,  but  fools  will  learn  in  no 
other. 

Chyle  is  the  milky  fluid  separated  from  the  food  by  diges- 
tion, and  from  this  are  formed  blood  and  nutriment  for 
the  support  of  animal  life. 

Epoch  is  a  fixed  point  of  time  from  which  years  are  reck- 
oned. 

The  departure  of  the  Israelites  from  Egypt  is  a  remarkct- 
ble  epoch  in  their  history. 

A  patriarch  is  the  father  of  a  family.  Abraham  was  the 
great  patriarch  of  the  Israelites. 

Sound  striking  against  an  object  and  returned  is  an  echo. 

The  stomach  is  the  great  laboratory  of  animal  bodies,  in 
which  animal  food  is  digested  and  prepared  for  entering 
the  proper  vessels  and  nourishing  the  body.  If  the  stom- 
ach is  impaired  and  does  not  perform  its  proper  functions, 
the  whole  body  suffers.     We  should  not  eat  too  much. '

Dr.  Webster  remarks — "The  pronunciation  of  the  words 
in  the  following  table,  is  marked  in  different  ways  by  wri- 
ters on  orthoepy. 

1.  JVatshure,jointskure,  c&c,  with  u  long.  This  is  a  false 
notation ;  the  words  neither  in  England  or  the  United 
States  being  ever  pronounced  with  u  long. 

2.  Natshur,  jointshur  with  u  short.  This  pronunciation  is 
common  in  both  countries,  but  not  the  most  elegant. 

3.  Nateyur,jointyur.  This  pronunciation,  though  a  depar- 
ture from  the  rules  of  the  language,  by  prefixing  the 
sound  of  y  to  w  short,  is  at  present  fashionable  among 
elegant  speakers.  The  latest  writer  limits  this  anomaly 
almost  wholly  to  a  few  words  of  two  syllables.

The  lungs  are  the  organs  of  respiration.     If  any  substance, 
except  air,  is  inhaled  and  comes  in  contact  with  the  lungs' 
we  instantly  cough.     This  cough  is  an  effort  of  nature 
to  free  the  lungs, 
A  (inger  signifies  a  taker,  as  does  fang.     We  take  or  catch 
things  with  the  fingers,  and  fowls  and  rapacious  quad- 
rupeds seize  other  animals  with  their  fanas. 
A  pang  is  a  severe  pain  ;  and  anguish  is  violent  distress. 
A  lecture  is  a  discourse  read  or  pronounced  on  any  subject  • 
it  is  a  formal  reproof.  ' 

Whatever  is  wrong  is  a  deviation  from  right,  or  from  the 
laws  of  God  or  man. 

Anger  is  a  tormenting  passion  and  so  are  envy  and  ieal- 
ousy.  *^  "* 

To  be  doomed  to  sufl^er  these  passions  long,  would  be  a 
severe  punishment. 

An  anglicism  is  a  peculiar  mode  of  speech  amon^  the  En- 
glish. ° 

Love  is  an  agreeable  passion,  and  is  sometimes  stronger 
than'death.  ^ 

How  happy  men  would  be  if  they  would  always  love  what 
is  right  and  hate  what  is  wrona-.

"  Verbs  ending  in  a  single  consonant,  preceded  by  a  single  vowel,

There  are  about  fifty  of  this  sort  I  have  introduced  them  at  this

•     GEORGE  WASHINGTON. 

George  Washirgton  was  born  at  Bridge's  Creek,  West- 
moreland county,  Virginia,  on  the  22d  of  February,  1732. 
Before  he  was  ten  years  old,  he  was  deprived  of  the  guid- 
ance and  example  of  an  excellent  father  ;  but  the  judicious 
economy  and  prudent  affection  of  his  mother  provided  for 
him  instruction  in  the  useful  branches  of  knowledge,  and 
above  all,  she  trained  him  to  a  love  of  truth,  and  success- 
fully cultivated  that  high  moral  sense  which  characterized 
his  actii»ns  from  his  youth.  There  is  no  doubt  that  the 
goodness  and  greatness  of  Washington  are  to  be  ascribed 
to  the  careful  culture  bestowed  by  his  affectionate  mother 
as  an  instrument  under  the  all-ruling  hand  of  God. ' 

THE  BIBLE  ON  SLAVERY. 

"let    EVERYMAN    WHEREIN    HE    IS    CALLED    THEREIN    ABIDE 

WITH  GOD." — 1*/  Corinthians  vii. 

But  as  God  hath  distributed  to  every  man,  as  the  Lord 
hath  called  every  one,  so  let  him  walk ;  and  so  ordain  I 
in  all  churches. 

Is  any  man  called,  (that  is  converted,)  being  circum- 
cised, let  him  not  become  uncircumcised ;  is  any  man 
called,  (that  is  converted,)  in  uncircumcision,  let  him  not 
be  circumcised.  Circumcision  is  nothing,  and  uncircum- 
cision is  nothing,  but  the  keeping  of  the  commandments 
of  God. 

Let  every  man  abide  in  the  same  calling  (that  is  avoca- 
tion) wherein  he  was  called,  (that  is  converted.) 

Art  thou  called,  (that  is  converted)  being  a  servant, 
care  not  for  it;  but  if  thou  mayest  be  made  free,  (by  thy 
lawful  owner,)  use  it  rather. 

For  he  that  is  called  in  the  Lord,  being  a  servant,  is  the 
Lord's  free  man;  likewise  he  that  is  called,  being  free,  is 
Christ's  servant.  Ye  are  bought  with  a  price;  be  ye  not 
the  servants  of  men.  Brethren,  let  every  man,  wherein 
he  is  called,  therein  abide  with  God.

THE  DUTY  OF  A  GOSPEL  MINISTER  TOWARDS  AGED  MEN,  AGED 
WOMEN,  YOUNG  WOMEN,  YOUNG  MEN  AND  SERVANTS. See 

Titus  ii:  1—10. 

speak  thou  the  things  which  become  sound  doctrine ; 
that  the  aged  men  be  sober,  grave,  temperate,  sound  in 
faith,  in  charity,  in  patience. 

The  AGED  women  likewise,  that  they  be  in  behavior  as 
becometh  holiness,  not  False  accusers,  not  given  to  much 
wine,  teachers  of  good  things ; 

That  they  may  teach  the  young  women  to  be  sober,  to 
love  their  husbands,  to  love  their  children  ;  to  be  discreet, 
chaste,  keepers  at  home,  good,  obedient  to  their  own  hus- 
bands, that  the  word  of  God  be  not  blasphemed. 

Young  men  likewise  exhort  to  be  sober  minded ;  in  all 
things  showing  thyself  a  pattern  of  good  works ;  in  doc- 
trine showing  uncorruptness,  gravity,  sincerity,  sound 
speech  that  cannot  be  condemned ;  that  he  who  is  of  the 
contrary  part  may  be  ashamed,  having  no  evil  thing  to 
say  of  you. 

Exhort  servants  to  be  obedient  to  their  own  masters, 
and  to  please  them  well  in  all  things;  not  answering  again; 
not  purloining;  but  showing  all  good  fidelity,  that  they 
may  adorn  the  doctrine  of  God  our  Savior  in  all  things."

John,  can  you  tell  me  how  time  is  measured  ? 
Time  is  measured  by  clocks,  Avatches,  dials  and  glasses. 
What  are  the  divisions  of  time? 

Time  is  divided  into  seconds,  minutes,  hours,  days,  weeks 
arrd  months. 
60  seconds  make  one  minute. 
€)0  minutes  make  one  hour. 
24  hours  make  one  day. 
7  days  make  one  week. 
52  weeks  make  one  year. 
4  weeks  make  one  month. 
12  months  make  one  year. 
365  days  make  one  year. 

Leap  year  has  one  day  more,  that  is,  866  days. 
Every  fourth  year  is  leap  year. 

Will  you  tell  me  the  names  of  the  days  of  the  week  ? 
Sabbath  or  Sunday,  Monday,  Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thurs- 
day, Friday,  Saturday.  The  Sabbath  is  a  day  of  rest, 
and  is  called  the  Lord's  day,  because  God  has  command- 
ed us  tq.  keep  it  holy  ;  that  is,  we  are  to  omit  labor  and 
M'orldly  employments,  and  devote  the  time  to  religious 
duties,  and  the  gaining  of  religious  kiYbwledge.

The  light  of  the  sun  makes  the  day,  and  the  shade  of  the

night  is  for  sleep  and  repose.  Children  should  go  to 
bed  early  in  the  evening,  and  all  persons  who  expect  to 
thrive  in  the  world  should  rise  early  in  the  morning, 
and  be  busily  and  usefully  employed  through  the  day. 

The  word  lazy  is  an  ugly  word.  /  think  so.  Do  you

THE  BIBLE  ON  SLAVERY. 

In  the  following  Bible  readings  the  duty  of  Christians 
generally  is  pointed  out  briefly ;  but  the  duty  of  wives, 
husbands,  children,  fathers  and  servants  are  pointed  out 
particularly. 

CoLossiANS  III :  9 — 12. 

Lie  not  one  to  another,  seeing  that  ye  have  put  off  the 
old  man  with  his  deeds ;  and  have  put  on  the  new  man, 
which  is  renewed  in  knowledge  after  the  image  of  him 
that  created  him  :  where  there  is  neither  Greek,  ror  Jew, 
circumcision  nor  uncircumcision,  Barbarian,  Scythian, 
bond  nor  free,  but  Christ  is  all  and  in  all. 

Put  on,  therefore,  as  the  elect  of  God,  holy  and  beloved, 
bowels  of  mercies,  kindness,  humbleness  of  mind,  meek- 
ness, long  suffering,  forbearing  one  another ;  if  any  man 
have  a  quarrel  against  any,  even  as  Christ  forgave  you  so 
also  do  ye.  And  above  all  these  things  put  on  charity, 
which  is  the  bond  of  perfectness.  And  let  the  peace  of 
God  rule  in  your  hearts,  to  the  which  ye  are  also  called 
in  one  body,  and  be  ye  thankful.  Let  the  word  of  Christ 
dwell  in  you  richly  in  all  wisdom  ;  teaching  and  admon- 
ishing one  another  in  psalms  and  hymns,  and  spiritual 
songs,  singing  with  grace  in  your  hearts  to  the  Lord.  And

whatsoever  ye  do  in  word  o>r  deed,  do  all  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesits,  giving  thanks  to  God  and  the  Father  by 
him. 

Wives  submit  yourselves  unto  your  own  husbands,  as 
it  is  fit  in  the  Lord. 

Husbands  love  your  wives,  and  be  not  bitter  against 
them. 

Children  obey  your  parents  in  all  things,  for  this  is 
well-pleasing  unto  the  Lord. 

Fathers  provoke  not  your  children  to  anger,  lest  they 
be  discouraged. 

Servants  obey  in  all  things  your  masters  according  to 
the  flesh;  not  with  eye  service,  as  men  pieasers,  but  in 
singleness  of  heart,  fearing  God  ;  and  whatsoever  ye  do 
do  it  heartily,  as  to  the  Lord  and  not  unto  men  ;  know- 
ing that  of  the  Lord  ye  shall  receive  the  reward  of  the 
inheritance;  for  ye  serve  the  Lord  Christ. 

Leviticus  xxv  :  44 — 46. 

Both  thy  bondsmen  and  thy  bondsmaids  which  thou 
shalt  have  shall  be  of  the  heathen  which  are  round  about 
you  ;  of  them  shall  ye  buy  bondmen  and  bondmaids. 

Moreover,  of  the  children  of  the  stranger  that  do  sojourn 
among  you,  of  them  shall  ye  buy,  and  of  their  families 
that  are  with  you,  which  they  begat  in  your  land,  and  they 
shall  be  your  possession. 

And  ye  shall  take  them  as  an  inheritance  for  your  chil- 
dren after  you,  to  inherit  them  for  a  possession ;  they  shall 
be  your  bondmen  forever. 


I  got  me  servants  and  maidens,  and  had  servants  born 
in  my  house  ;  also  I  had  great  possession  of  great  and  small 
cattle  above  all  that  were  in  Jerusalem  before  me. — JEccle- 
siastes  ii :  4 — 7.

PUNCTUATION. 

Punctuation  is  the  division  of  a  composition  into  sentences  or  parts 
of  a  sentence  l)y  i:iointP,  to  mark  tlie  pauses  to  be  observed  in  reading, 
and  to  sliow  the  connection  of  the  several  parts  or  clauses. 

The  comma  (  ,  )  requires  a  pause  of  the  length  of  a  monosyllable, 
or  the  time  of  pronouncing  one. 

The  semicolon  (  ;  )  requires  a  pause  of  two  monosyllables. 
The  colon  (  : )  requires  a  pause  of  three  syllables. 

ThejicHocTX  .  )  requires  a  pause  of  four  syllables,  and  is  used  at  the 
close  of  a  sentence  and  after  abbreviated  words. 

The  interrogation  point  (?)  shows  when  a  question  is  asked,  as  what 
do  you  see? 

The  exclamation 2ioint  ( !  )  denotes  wonder  or  astonishment,  as  what 
an  awful  calamity  is  civil  war !    How  shocking  ! 

The  parenthesis  ( )  includes  word^  not  necessar}'-  in  the  sentence, 
and  which  ^rc  to  be  uttered  in  a  lower  tone  of  voice. 

Brackets  [  ]  are  sometimes  used  for  nearly  the  same  purpose  as  the 
parenthesis,  or  to  include  some  explanation. 

The  dash  (  —  )  denotes  a  sudden  stop  or  change  of  the  subject,  as 
"  Here  lies  tl:e  great — false  marble,  where  ? 
Nothing  but  sordid  dust  lies  here." 
T?ie  caret  {/\)  shows  the  omission  of  a  letter  or  a  word  as 

their 
Good  children  love  parents 
A 
TJie  apof^trojihe  (  ' )  denotes  the  omission  of  a  letter,  as  lov'd,  and 
is  used  in  foruiiug  the  possessive  case  of  nouns,  as  John's. 

A  quotation  (  "  "  )  is  indicated  by  these  points  being  placed  at  the 
beginning  and  ending  of  the  line  or  sentence  quoted. 

Theindex  (3^^)  points  to  a  passage  that  is  to  be  particularly  noticed. 

The  paragraph  (  H  )  is  placed  at  the  beginning  of  a  new  subject. 

The  asterisk  (  *  ),  the  dagger  ( t ),  the  double  dagger  (  J  ),  ihe  sec- 
tion (  §  ),  the  parallel  (  J  )  and  sometimes  letters  and  figures  arc  ust-d 
to  reierilie  reader  to  notes  in  the  margin,  oratitie  botloni  of  the  page. 

The  diaresis  {  ")  shows  that  the  vowel  under  it  is  not  connected 
with  the  preceding  vowel. 

CAPITAL  LETTERS. 

The  pronoun  /and  the  interjection  0,  should  always  be  written  in 
capital  letters. 

A  capital  letter  is  used  at  the  beginning  of  a  book,  chapter,  section, 
sentence  and  note.  Names  of  i  <rs(>ns,  ciiies,  towns,  villages,  sens,

GES.  THOMAS  J.  JACKSON. 

Gen.  T.  J.  Jackson  must  over  be  remembered  as  one  of 
the  most  eniment  Generals  who  drew  his  sword  in  the 
cause  of  Southern  independence.  He  was  born  on  the  1st 
day  of  January,  1824,  in  Clarksburg,  Harrison  county, 
Virginia.  His  father,  Jonathan  Jackson,  d'ed  in  1827, 
leaving  four  children.  His  son,  Thomas  Jonathan,  who 
afterwards  became  such  a  distinguished  soldier,  w^as  but 
three  years  old  at  the  time  of  his  father's  death. 

Thomas  was  taken,  after  his  father's  death,  to  live  with 
an  uncle  who  resided  in  Lewis  county.  So  soon  as  he  was 
old  enou2:h  he  bejran  to  labor  on  his  uncle's  farm,  and  to 
go  to  school  for  three  months  in  the  year.  With  such 
limited  advantages  he  could  only  acquire  the  rudiments  of 
a  plain  English  education.  When  he  was  about  seventeen 
years  of  age  he  was  sent  to  the  West  Point  Military 
School.  He  graduated  at  this  institution,  after  the  regular 
course, -with  much  distinction. 

On  leaving  West  Point,  he  entered  the  military  service 
under  Gen.  Zachary  Taylor,  with  the  rank  of  Lieutenant. 
When  Gen.  Scott  w^as  ordered  to  Mexico,  Jackson  joined 
him  at  Vera  Cruz,  and  assisted  in  the  capture  of  Mexico. 
In  July,  1861,  some  one  said  to  Gen.  Scott  "How  is  it 
that  you  cannot  take  Richmond  with  such  a  large  army, 
when  with  so  small  a  lorce  you  could  take  the  great  city 
ot  Mexico  ?"  "'  You  torget,"'  said  the  General,  "  that  some 
ot  the  very  men  wno  helped  to  take  Mexico  are  now  op- 
posing my  progress  to  Richmond."  As  a  reward  for  his 
gallant  services  in  the  Mexican  war,  young  Jackson  was 
honored  with  the  rank  of  Brevet  Major.  Very  few  of 
those  who  began  with  the  same  position  become  more  dis- 
tinguished during  this  campaign. 

When  the  Federal  Government  declared  war  against 
the  Southern  States,  Major  Jackson  repaired  immediately 
to  Richmond,  where  he  received  a  Colonel's  commission 
from  Governor  Letcher,  and  was  ordered  to  take  command 
at  Harper's  Ferry.  He  arrived  there  on  the  2d  of  May, 
1861,  and  entered  upon  his  duties  the  following  day.  His 
first  active  service  in  the  present  war  was  on  the  2d  of 
July,  when  he  engaged  the  advance  of  Gen.  Patterson's

army,  and  held  them  in  check  whilst  Gen.  Johnston,  the 
Southern  commander,  was  making  important  dispositions 
of  his  forces  in  the  rear.  lie  exhibited  so  much  ability 
on  this  and  other  occasions  during  his  first  service  on  the 
upper  Potomac,  that- he  was  promoted  to  a  Brigadier  Gen- 
eralship. 

At  the  first  battle  .of  Manassas  he  fought  so  bravely  and 
resisted  so  firmly  the  efforts  of  the  enemy  to  drive  him 
back,  that  the-Jamented  Gen.  Bee  gave  him  the  name  o^ 
Stonewall ;  and  by'  this  title  he  was  better  known  than 
by  his  proper  initials.  At  this  battle,  when  another  Gen. 
said  to  him  "They  are  driving  us  back;  we  shall  be  over- 
come." "No,  sir;"  said  Jackson,  planting  himself  firmly, 
"  We'll  give  them  the  bayonet." 

On  the  1st  of  January,  1862,  after  a  severe  march,  in 
which,  together  with  his  troops,  he  endured  much  sulTering, 
lie  drove  the  enemy  from  Romney,  in  Virginia,  where 
they  were  lodged,  and  from  which  place  they  were  com- 
]nitting  great  depredations  on  the  surrounding  country. 
But  perhaps  the  most  brilliant  part  of  his  military  career 
was  that  of  the  summer  of  the  same  year.  Jn  less  than  | 
thirty  days  he  fought  and  conquered  no  less  than  four 
(xenerals  of  the  United  States  army.  Encountering  Pre- 
mont  west  of  Staunton  he  soon  drove  him  back,  and  with- 
out stopping  to  rest,  swept  down  the  valley  and  compelled 
Banks  to  fly  across  the  Potomac.  Returning  to  the  upper 
valley  within  three  weeks,  he  dealt  Fremont  a 'stunning 
blow  at  Cross  Keys,  vanquished  Shields  in  the  Luray  val- 
ley, and  then,  wiih  almost  electric  speed,  hurled  his  victo- 
rious forces  down  the  Virginia  Central  Railroad  on  the 
right  of  McClellan's  army,  which  was  then  in  sight  of 
Uichmond.  lie  fought  in  every  important  battle  in  Vir- 
ginia, and  always  with  the  greatest  success.  Cedar  Moun- 
tain, Manassas,  Fredericksluirg,  were  the  scenes  of  distin- 
guished services  after  this  brilliai^it  campaign  in  the  valley. 

lie  was  struck  down  by  a  bullet  from  his  own  men, 
fired  by  mistake,  on  the  3d  of  May,  1863,  exactly  two 
years  from  the  time  he  had  entered  the  service  in  this  war. 
He  died  of  the  combined  effects  of  the  wound  li<>  r"''<ived 
and  of  pneumonia,  on  the  17th  of  May.

As  a  patriot  he  must  ever  be  loved  and  lionored  by 
every  Soulhern  heart.  No  one  was  more  generous  and 
unselfish.  One  night,  just  before  the  battle  of  Manassas, 
he  performed  guard  duty,  to  give  his  weary  soldiers  an 
opportunity  for  sleeping.  The  sickness,  which  was  one 
cause  of  his  death,  was  contracted  in  consequence  of  pass- 
infr  a  nifrht  in  the  air  without  tent  "or  coverinij,  havin<x 
given  to  another  the  cape  which  was  given  to  him  for  his 
own  protection. 

As  a  soldier  friends  and  enemies  speak  of  him  in  the 
highest  ternis.  Some  of  his  victories,  though  on  a  much 
smaller  scale,  were  as  brilliant  as  any  which  were  won  by 
the  celebrated  French  conqueror.  ITe  was  remarkable 
for  the  rapidity  of  his  movements,  for  his  power  of  endu- 
rance, and  for  the  great  confidence  with  which  he  always 
inspired  the  men  of  his  command. 

But  his  crowning  excellence  was  his  piety.  He  was  a 
man  of  great  faith.  He  was  much  in  prayer.  He  ac- 
knowled"^ed  God  in  all  his  ways.  When  Gen.  Lee  told  him 
that  the  great  victory  at  Fredericksburg  was  due  to  his 
skill  and  energy,  he  replied:  "Gen.  Lee  should  give  the 
glory  to  God."  His  soldiers  often  found  him  on  his  knees 
in  retired  parts  of  the  w^oods.  AVhen  told  that  he  must 
die  he  said,  "  It  will  be  infinite  gain  to  be  translated  to 
heaven  to  be  with  Jesus.''  Let  every  Southern  youth 
remember  his  great  and  good  qualities  and  endeavor  to 
imitate  them.
